Re: Documented vessels and their dinghys

Here in Florida if you do that, and you're riding your life boat to the dock for dinner and drinks- and your big boat is not sinking in the bay- :whistling:

They, like everyone else, are short handed. I've been boarded and they...

Re: Saint Petersburg to The Florida Keys

I've sailed the route many times. I would suggest exiting the Passage Key channel and turning left. Not much more of a schedule other than that. You have so darn many great places to drop the hook...

The first thing you should buy is a shop manual. I used my manual a lot when I still owned the 4-108. They are very easy to fix, parts readily available and the shop manual will answer all of your...

Re: Wind Generator (My Logic & Questions)

I put on both.

One 220 watt panel and a Rutland 913.

Re: Cruisers yacht stuck on Gulfport beach in 4 feet of sand

Yes, it solves it for today, maybe tomorrow, and quite possibly for a month or two.

Sooner or later we will have to use tax dollars, at a higher rate, just to do this all over again.
